Rasam

Rasam it is basic item in every south indian kitchen. It took so long for me to post it I cannot believe it. I have posted different rasam before not normal dhal rasam. This is a must for me if I eat home. I love to drink it plain, with papad, payasam or even with vada. Dhal and rasam rice is one of my favourite... My kids eat Rasam only when they are sick. This is good dieter dish too.IngredientsThuar Dhal (Thuvar Dhal) - 3 tablespoon (Cook with turmeric powder and 1.5 cup of water till it is fully cooked. Mash the dhal and keep it aside)Tomato - 1/2Tamarind - 1 marble size ball (Soak it in hot water and using your hand make thick tamarind paste and add water to extract juice)Mustard seeds - 1/4 teaspoonDry Red chillie - 1 (broken into 2)Garlic - 4 pods.
